Romania to go
When I was 18 and the holiday came, the whole “gang” teamed up and bought an “en route” train ticket that we used to travel across the whole country. We hopped in the train, looked on the window and went down where we felt like! We stamped the ticket and then went further. And so I saw the Moldavian’s monasteries, the Maramures and the most beautiful cities of our country.
The Revolution arrived afterwards and time lost its patience. “Locked” in my studio it was the time to live my urban illusion of “capitalism”. Around 2000, as I started to comprehend globalization’s mechanisms, the yearning for wandering returned. I thought to begin with farther spots, thinking that the places closer to me can wait.
In 2012 I was commissioned by an advertising agency to participate in the launching of a major campaign to promote Romanian tourism values. I took my photos, I finished editing and I taught the material. However the photos you will see below are other than those requested. Here you can see my 20 year old view on Romania today; the rustic Romania with people yet unconquered by the market or drugged by the media and internet. Romania to go.
